ASPC-Yuma-Cibola Unit, AZ

General population visitation at ASPC-Yuma's Cibola Unit runs on Saturdays, Sundays, and posted holidays in two blocks: 8:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. and 12:00 p.m.–4:00 p.m. You'll need approval before you can visit. In Arizona, that typically means a background check and an electronic application, so follow the facility's application steps and ID checklist closely. Don't submit a visitation application while the inmate is still in the intake process at Alhambra or Perryville. Once any required payment and supporting documents are received, expect up to 60 days for processing. Before you travel, call (928) 627-8871 ext. 17224 to confirm hours and requirements.

At ASPC-Yuma Cibola Unit, adult visitors applying for in-person, phone, or video visits must pay a one-time, non-refundable $25 background check fee (Department Order 911). If you only want to accept inmate phone calls, you may be exempt from the $25 fee, but you still need to apply for phone privileges. When paying the background check online, transaction fees vary by provider: Keefe charges no fee, JPay charges $0.95, and GTL via CheckFreePay or Western Union charges $1.00. Set up an account with the approved vendor platform and complete any required verification steps before scheduling video visits or purchasing calling credits. Keep in mind that facility rules and vendor terms affect how calls, video visits, and messages are scheduled, paid for, and monitored.

Depositing money into an inmate account at ASPC-Yuma-Cibola Unit is done through approved third-party options: online portals, vendor apps, phone payments, or on-site kiosks. Mailing a check won't work here. When using an online or phone service, you'll enter the inmate's commissary/PIN or booking number along with your payment details. Electronic deposits usually post quickly. ADCRR state prisons generally don't accept personal checks, money orders, or cashier's checks for inmate account deposits, so stick to approved electronic methods. The one exception: if you're sending an official government benefit check (VA, Social Security, disability) for an inmate trust account, mail it to the Inmate Trust Accounts Section, 1802 W Jackson Street, #161, Phoenix, AZ 85007 (effective Jan 7, 2026). Funds can be used for commissary, telephone, or authorized self-bail accounts.
